It's September 2016 and this song was just played a couple of days ago.

I can tell you this song was definitely not influenced by the David Crosby song. The idea of playing the melody using wah wah, slide and then harmonics owes more to the influence of Jimi Hendrix's great guitar solo on Bob Dylan's song "All Along The Watchtower".

The song is in DADGAD tuning btw.

I can't express Ken, how much it tickles me to have found a comment on RP from the artist who created the track.  I am Canadian, now living north of the Big Smoke but I sheepishly admit I have not heard your music before.  As always, RP never ceases to introduce me to new sounds and artists and that is why it will always reign supreme in my ears.

There seems to be so many comparison comments in these threads. 'This sounds a lot like X' or 'this artist is borrowing from Y'.  Really this is not fair to the artist. Musicians will always be influenced by the things they have heard and admired over the years, tis true, but I really wish folks would just sit back and appreciate what they are hearing for what it is and what it evokes in that moment. Making a comparison, to me,  seems to infer that one thing is less than the other or somehow lacking  in its own merit.

I'm glad I found your music. I also appreciate the nerdy musician nugget of the tuning used. Thanks. I needed new strings anyway LOL

A nice piece. The rhythm track sounds a little more than vaguely like the Van Morrison cover of Dylan's It's All Over Now, Baby Blue.  

 
What he said. 
It's the first day of proto-spring in NY.  TG!!!!!!  Birds are chirping, the windows are open, children laugh on the street below.  
This is a fine theme track.

Yes we are.  Bill and Rebecca get to sleep sometime.  They put together sets and that's what we get to hear.  I'm not sure how long a set lasts but all the doctors suggest we need 8 hours of sleep to lead a healthy and happy life.  And Bill and Rebecca certainly look healthy and happy.
 

 
I think the fact that there is "Bill and Rebecca" means we can sometimes expect a little repeating...Do I care? No....I kind of like hearing an old set...makes it seem more human, not less.

Exactly my thoughts after four years of reading the comment threads. I am still enthralled with the Eclectic Radio, although I am certainly no longer impressed by the "Eclectic Bunch" here and I certainly agree with you that "open minded" is NOT a phrase I would use to describe most frequent forum posters. I am not attacking you, kmh, for you are not one of the frequent posters to whom I refer....
 

There does seem to be a fairly large and overly-vocal minority out there who must be sad, bitter, angry at someone or something, they may not even know what.  So they just lash out indiscriminately at anything that doesn't fit into their pathetic little worlds.  It's hard to feel compassion for them after reading their invective, but we should try.

Well said, though years back. RP amazes me. Love this tune. First I've heard of it. This set, the past 30 mins. or so - Bill's on his 'A' game.

I'm sorry, I just don't get it. When I close my eyes and listen I see a waterfall flowing into a small stream which then cuts across the rocky beach into the ocean. There are seagulls and trees and ...what's that? an iceberg? What's that doing here? Oh well, I just couldn't see a desert. On the Hippie elevator issue: They hang around, get high and then come down. I've seen 'em.

Found that song rather annoying as well, though I identified it's rather lame repetitive Swami-talk sampling (which some listeners had failed to grasp, envisioning a creepy old pederast) Well, devotees or their fellow travelers can wax sappy about their Gurus, or be ironic about those who do, and still turn out something truly "Beautiful..", like this.
